Water Shadow. Kachowka 2023

The Kakhovka Reservoir became a shadow over the steppe in 1955: entire villages, meadows, and stories sank beneath its waters.

On June 6, 2023, the destruction of the dam overturned everything that had existed before; billions of cubic meters of water poured over the land, leaving people with no choice at all.

Shadow and light, life and death, being or non-being—they are two sides of the same story. “Water Shadow” asks: Can humanity conquer the river, or will nature triumph?

Тіні води. Каховка 2023 

Каховське водосховище ще у 1955 році лягло тінню над степом: цілі козацькі села, зелені луки, великий пласт історії зникли під водою. 

6 червня 2023 підрив дамби російськими військовими перевернув пісочний годинник – і мільярди кубометрів води розлилися на  нові теріторії, позбавивши людей вибору. 

Тінь і світло, життя і смерть, бути й зникнути — дві сторони однієї історії. «Тіні води» запитують: чи зможе людина приборкати течію, чи переможе природа?

FLUTEN – Opening Art Walk

17:00

Meeting Point: Weimar Atrium

Weimar Atrium

The FLUTEN opening walk begins on October 4 at 4:00 pm at E-Werk Weimar. From there, visitors are guided through the city, moving from one exhibition venue to the next. Each stop marks the opening of a new chapter of FLUTEN. The walk transforms the exhibition openings into a collective journey, weaving together art, urban space, and the shared experience of exploring flood narratives in different forms and perspectives, before concluding in the atmospheric halls of Gaswerk.

Starting with the flood disaster of May 1613 (the so-called “Thuringian Deluge”), the lecture will present further historical floods of the Ilm. These include, for example, the extreme discharge events of 1890 and 1981, which also caused considerable property damage. Impressive sources on these events can be found in archives, museums, and libraries. A selection of texts and images will be presented by the Erfurt environmental historian Dr. Mathias Deutsch in his lecture on October 11, 2025.
